Sunday's (June 29) Bourbon Street shooting cast a pall over New Orleans, but the street activists who spread LOVE signs across town in recent weeks did what they could to symbolically cope. At two locations near the crime scene, the street artists quickly and clandestinely installed LOVE signs.

"We put 3 quick signs on the corners of Bourbon that surround last nights shooting. We realize some may consider this naive, but the patterns behind the violence have been building a lot longer than we have been putting up signs. Our efforts certainly can't hurt anything."
